CNN: Biden Can Be a Game-Day Decision for Debate

NEW YORK (AP) — CNN says it will allow Vice President Joe Biden to participate in the first Democratic presidential primary debate even if he decides that day to be a candidate.

The network released its criteria for the Oct. 13 debate on Monday. Since Biden has achieved an average of one percent support in three polls — even though he isn't a declared candidate — CNN said he needs only to file the necessary paperwork or say he will that day to be in the debate.
